[gwtaylor]

So is this an upgrade exhaust manifold can’t see and make on it hope it’s not a cheap Chinese job and will it really make that much of a difference as it’s still running stand turbo

Looks like a Zisco manifold. 

[maerijn]

Zisco ramhorn  You wont have any problems with cracking manifolds for a while, thats for sure. Should've polished it before fitting

It came with the car bud already fittrd

[gwtaylor]

Right managed to get around the car today between down pours

 

[gwtaylor]

Right it’s got an aftermarket rad but the fan isn’t wired up can anybody tell my if this is a suck or blow fan?

[LeonL]

You can swap wires around and it’ll spin opposite way.

but based on fact it’s on rear of radiator it should be pulling/sucking heat out of the radiator

Yea I did that like noticed it span both ways like just trying to work out which way it should spin like

[gwtaylor]

Doing abit of wire searching and luckily I have a complete ish car for reference 

[LeonL]

You’d be able to tell if it’s blowing or pulling by feeling the air around it while turned on

Yea I can tell that but which way should it be working pulling or pushing air bud that what I’m trying to work out

[LeonL]

Because it’s mounted on the back of the radiator it should be pulling air/heat out of the radiator and into the engine bay

 

if the fan was mounted on the front of radiator you’d want it pushed the heat through and into engine bay

Right one more job done thanks to Leon

the front antirillbar is hitting the lower arms

its an aftermarket one 

what can be done to stop this happening

[maerijn]

it seems to be sitting very loosely in its bushings

Ok so it should be a lot tighter 

how tight?

 

any tourqe  settings?

[LeonL]

Normally you tighten them up quite abit until the bushing become squashed down.

I don’t have any torque settings I’m afraid

Ok bud

 

ill do that

 

Cheers 

[Di_Bodi]

That's how much the OEM where squashed (before I've changed to TRD arb):

[gwtaylor]

Well took some more pictures today of ARB

 

defaniy needed tightening 

 

completely tightened both both sides but still rubbing so think I’ll have to get some ARB spacers made

[gwtaylor]

While I had it up in the air I decided to take exhaust off as I’ve got a full blitz system to go on even though this one did sound ok like.

but it will be going up forsale this evening 

[gwtaylor]

No real pictures yet but have a blitz exhaust to be fitted another half rad a new actuator and just fitted 16” team dynamic alloys.

 

noticed a clunk from the rear end and after investigation it was the bushes in the rear diagonal bar. Luckily I had a spare from the one I’m breaking to go straight on job done.

 

[gwtaylor]

well investigated why my rear whiper has never worked so did a little digging and found out exactly why LOL!
